Brief Answer:
Visit and consult a doctor if weakness or ataxia present
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Headache with dizziness and weakness at this age may be stroke if it is of sudden onset. The examination by a doctor or neurologist can confirm the diagnosis with the help of imaging brain.
Other possibility may be normal headache without any significant ataxia, weakness, speech difficulty, swallowing difficulty.
For this you can take pain killers like Naproxen or Aceclofenac for now.
Any specific signs as mentioned before should be evaluated by a neurologist.
Any history of diabetes, previous stroke or cardiac illness?
Not seems to be related to neck problem.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
